"The first trip I ever made with my service dog, Axel, was to Breckenridge, Colorado in winter. I’d accepted an invitation for a ski spectacular, one of many outdoor events put on by organizations around the country for wounded and disabled veterans to aid in their recovery. "I didn’t yet realize how far I’d come in just a few months. I’d spent much of the last two years prior to the trip confined to my basement. Getting Axel had forced me out of my home and my comfort zone—so much that I’d voluntarily boarded a plane for a weeklong trip in snowy Colorado. "As I lounged in my hotel room with Axel one evening after a day of snowboarding, we looked at each other. He raised one of his eyebrows. I knew, for the first time since I’d been on the frontlines of the invasion of Iraq, that I was going to be all right—that the sky was the limit for us," writes retired Marine Corps Capt. Jason Haag.

A great article on how refuel operating companies are raising money for nonprofits! We were so fortunate to be the recipient of Tiger Fuel Company's annual charity golf tournaments. The event raised a whopping $20,000 toward our mission providing service dogs at no cost to wounded and disabled veterans. https://lnkd.in/eZND3NnK

Congratulations to our newest class of warrior-canine graduates. Each of these veterans had the courage to reach out and ask for help. They had the strength to face their biggest fears and challenges that seemed impossible not very long ago. As an organization founded and run by wounded combat veterans, we know it wasn't easy. But we are humbled and grateful that they put their trust and faith in us. Thank you to each and every individual who supported our organization along the way, from our big-hearted foster community to our volunteers and the companies and individuals who gave their time and resources. We couldn't have done it without you. #1leashsaves2lives #servicedogs #veterans #marines #army #navy #veteranshelpingveterans #graduation #servicedogschangelives
